When it comes to love, the important thing we need to know is this: All love starts with God (1 John 4:19). As Moses told the Israelites, God delighted in them to love them (Deut. 10:15), and because of that they were to love others, even strangers (v.19). God’s intent is that the people who receive His love will become the conduit of His love to others. Apart from God—who Himself is love—none of us could truly love or be loved (1 John 4:7-8). “Love seeketh not her own,” and so He did not stay as God above, But chose a manger and a cross To show that He was Love. —Wilmshurst He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. —1 John 4:8 Stay Encouraged!
